“Of fractals and frogs: what we can learn from Diepsloot” was the topic given by WITS Professor of Journalism Anton Harber when he gave a talk based on his new book, Diepsloot. Harber, a former editor of the Mail and Guardian has through the book returned to his journalistic roots producing a highly relevant account of one of Johannesburg’s many semi informal settlements on the outskirts of the city. “If you want to understand this country and where it is headed you need to understand a place such as Diepsloot and, the hopes and aspirations of its peoples”, Harber says.The talk was hosted by the Department of Journalism Film and Television at the Faculty of humanities.
